Chapter 1107 265: Attention, Attention, the San Remo Miracle..._3

Naji swung his head from right to left, seemingly intending to break out the football, but even if he didn't touch the football, he would likely collide with Stiepelman's head.

Stiepelman swung his head from left to right, preparing to score.

This time, he didn't hesitate at all!

Bang!

Stiepelman was the first to hit the football.

Then, his head collided hard with Naji's head.

Both fell to the ground on the field.

But before that, the football had already been shot into San Remo's goal like a cannonball.

"Goal! It's in! The great Stiepelman!"

"So powerful! So high! Stiepelman outpowered Lu Yang and Naji, scoring this crucial goal!"

"Two to two, with an overall score of four to four, the two teams are completely tied!"

"Oh, Stiepelman and Naji are down in the penalty area, they just seemed to have collided."

"Both are rubbing their heads; they indeed collided, but luckily, it didn't hit the wound on Stiepelman's brow bone, otherwise Stiepelman would be in danger."

Talista looked towards Naji.

Naji thought Talista was blaming him, covering his head and explaining: "If I were vying for the header, I couldn't have hit his wound."

Though he ultimately didn't win the header, Naji tried his best.

Talista reached out to pull Naji up: "You've succeeded."

"Our football is aimed at the ball, not at harming the opponent's body."

"We can intimidate the opponent, but we can't change our goal from the ball to the opponent's body. Otherwise... it's no longer playing football."

Naji was stunned.

In fact, he always thought Talista was the latter.

But unexpectedly...

"Thank you!" Stiepelman was not seriously injured, after getting up, he also extended his hand to Naji, "You showed noble sportsmanship."

Naji blushed.

Pulled up jointly by the two.

Soon, Parc des Princes resounded with friendly applause.

This was a rare scene of goodwill in a fierce match.

Just like when Asensio suddenly fell, opponent J Luo kicked the ball out of the field.

Just like when Cavani cramped and left the field, C Luo carried him off the field quickly.

Such scenes are abundant on the football field.

This is far more important than gaining victory by undermining the opponent.

San Remo's recent conceded goal was definitely not because Naji didn't injure Stiepelman's brow.

But because he indeed didn't jump as high as Stiepelman.

Stiepelman supported Lu Yang, displaying a second burst of strength.

Naji did everything he could.

If this loss of goal is attributed to Naji not injuring Stiepelman's body, it's too narrow-minded.

Such football wouldn't earn respect from peers, nor love from fans.

...

"San Remo's performance has been unexpected. In the first leg, everyone thought Paris Saint-Germain would win big, but San Remo turned the score to two to two."

"In the second leg, when everyone thought San Remo had no reason to struggle, they still made the score two to two."

"And don't forget, in both times, San Remo was the one being equalized!"

"Now it seems even, but San Remo is playing away, once they score any goal, Paris Saint-Germain would need two goals to restore the situation. The victory balance has actually tipped towards San Remo."

The commentator pinpointed the key moment.

Paris Saint-Germain now is... a bit hesitant to attack.

Because one goal by San Remo equates to two goals for them.

If they were to be counter-attacked by San Remo due to their aggression, it wouldn't be very cost-effective.

And now the match has approached almost eighty minutes, everyone somewhat prefers to hold on through regular time and then wait for the coach's adjustment in overtime.

There's no need for them to gamble now, one reason being their dwindling energy, the other being they still have substitution slots.

Their substitutes are also strong, unlike San Remo's.

If dragged into overtime, they are more likely to win.

On the other hand, San Remo has not used their substitution slots either.

Because currently, they have no one to replace.

If Bai Zhami were here, Sotu would replace Fernandez with him, but Bai Zhami is still in the recovery phase.

The midfield trio, Morichire can't run anymore.

Kaint and Lam... today their defensive tasks are heavy, though they persist, the team will still need their defense afterwards.

Moriba is too young and somewhat reckless; this high-level game is currently not suitable for him, he hasn't earned Sotu's trust.

Delarre might be the only one San Remo could try to substitute.

But Sotu prefers to put him up during extra-time to give it a try, rather than now.

Paris Saint-Germain feels a draw in regular time is acceptable, and naturally, San Remo can accept that too.

Momentarily, Sotu waved his hand and also signaled San Remo to shrink its forces and focus on defense.

Both sides' players lost much of their passion on the field for a while.

But top players, what makes them outstanding, is that they can always create sudden threats in seemingly non-lethal games.

Lu Yang, while passing back to Canyes, gave Canyes a look.

The meaning was: Go for it!

Canyes hesitated: Brother, if I go up like this, it'll leave the back open, won't it? Isn't it too risky?

Lu Yang: I'll cover your position.

Canyes carried the ball over Lu Yang.

Paris Saint-Germain's midfield pressed forward.
